Making a mold for a concrete lion. I used Styrofoam extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), commonly called "Blue Board" for the mold. www.vectric.com storedesignandmake.com
Very nice. Suggestion- when casting in stone, you may want to do a splash coat of cement- a thinner, water base of stone to get details and avoid bubbles you apply with a brush then put in the rest of stone/cement, but beautiful work- thank you for sharing.
I make molds out of Latex and Fiberglass for mother mold, take a lot of time but lasts for a lot of pours. This looks like a cheaper cost other that the price of the machine, Thanks for a great video. I wish I could add pictures here for you to see my stuff. Take care and thanks.
@@CNCSwede first i need to get myself a lathe and a milling machine. But i am unsure what is wise, because i have to move again, and again after that. So it cannot be to heavy. Epoxy granite is something i am considering, but it could be a bit of a hastle. So maybe i will stick with a HBM 290V lathe and a wide table HBM BF 25 milling machine. Which is still a lot of weight to move at 195kg and 160kg. Plus i am not sure is 38mm spindle boring would be enough for car axles.. and the BF 25 is probably to small to machine an engineblock on it. I havent read enough on epoxygranite to know if i really want it. And i am still lerning books about welding and machining. And some more engenering books after those. So yeah, i really need to know what i want to be able to make on them before i buy. The pots on the other hand, i am going to get books about concrete mold making (ATP books), so i will know about concrete after that. Maybe making the details in the milling machine and just glue and screw them to the wooden molds. Greetings, Jeff
@@CNCSwede själv har jag en cnc maskin men datan till den dog plus jag vill byta min mot en som e som raw,men jag vill ha verktygsväxling med på den. jag läste på deras hemsida att dom håller på med nåt nytt plus dom slulle försöka hitta nåt bra billigare verktygsväxling till nån av deras nya modell om jag förstod de rätt .min maskin kan man körs i stål med så kraftig maskin
Great vid.love the choice of lion head you choose,great machine to,can you make a fiberglass mold from your mold?if so i would love to get me one of that lion to purchase,hook up a good man bro.
Wonderful video. Never seen this before. Please provide link to purchase machinery, and template. What programs did you use to adjust template? Thank you for sharing.
Thanks 😊 My CNC is from rawcnc.com/ and the template is from store.designandmake.com/shop/product/18252 and the CAD/CAM I use is www.vectric.com/products/aspire
DMESSER Yeah thats fully possible. But this form will last very long and is probably cheaper. I've only done two casting so far but no signs of wear on the mold yet.
If you go to openbuilds there are plans for machines costing under $1000 that will do this just fine, you can also buy kits in the $1000-$2000 range. If you are only cutting foams & wood you don't need a super expensive super accurate machine that can chomp metal.
Alltid kul att se dina videos morbror :) kanske du ska få göra en snygg Njutbart-skylt som jag kan ha i bakgrunden på mina videos :) och GRATTIS till 500 subs :)
First i wanna say Hello, and thank you for sharing process video. Are you living in USA, I am living in Houston Texas USA, may I buy that mold from you (if possible) once again thanks
@@CNCSwede hej, intressant att det släpper så bra från cellplasten, en annan metod hade varit att göra en positiv form som man sedan vakumformar så kan du göra många förmår relativt snabbt och sedan sälja en till mig. // Martin
I don’t really know. I have tried it twice and it has not shown any wear. But I guess you can paint it with a thin layer of varnish or something and they will last even longer.
Robert Holmberg nja det är inte sån frigolit. Utan sån som man använder när man isolerar betongplattor till hus. Mycket hårdare och tätare än frigolit.

So many things we have in common brother. I should be getting my cnc machine very soon! Thanks for making this video.

Excellent Video!!!! Thanks for sharing the process!!! Inspiring!
Design and Make CNC Projects Thanks 😊
It was a nice piece but you didn’t make the mold. That was the whole point for me making the mold.
Thanks Bobby, Yes exactly this is a CNC channel so it was my CNC that made the mold. Best regards Eric.
Cant wait to start cnc milling! I thought about making gardenpots/beds with a nice motive on it.
This is that sort of thing!
Jeff Jefferson Nice if I could inspire you to do it 😊

@@stevetaylor2943 About 24000 sek (2800$)
OMG, I have never seen anything like this before, 😳, thanks for sharing..... I just might to explore this technology 💋

hi, how long did the milling process take and how big was the lion in cms?
Hi Mustafa! About 2 hours. The lion head was 300mm W x 388mm H
@@CNCSwede ouh wow alright thanks! great job!
Would it be possible to cnc the design in relief and then make a silicone or latex mould which should last longer when replicating the design? Thanks
DMESSER Yeah thats fully possible. But this form will last very long and is probably cheaper. I've only done two casting so far but no signs of wear on the mold yet.
Great job!
ChaosOptional Thanks 😊
Hi looks good, what machine is that cutting the foam board? And where can I buy one please?
Stoneboss Thanks 😊 it's a CNC machine. Here is the address where to buy it. rawcnc.com/home/
Ok! Thanks
Nice work my brother, May G∴ A∴ O∴ T∴ U∴ always bless your work. (G∴ O∴ of Brazil.)
Ricardo T Thanks Bro 😊
I want this mold
Hi, thanks for the review, great watching. Can I ask you what printer brand you used for the mole and software?
Mahmoud Edi Thanks 😊 it’s a cnc router. The brand is Raw 1.5 from a Swedish company. rawcnc.com/ The software are Aspire from Vectric.com
Great result! i'm in the middle of a similar process, what kind of mold release you used???
-Thanks
Great Job, what kind of material do you use for the mold?
Juan Aguirre Thanks! 😊 I used Styrofoam extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), commonly called "Blue Board" for the mold.
Det där är briljant broder! 👍🏻

disculpe donde encuentro esos moldes nesecito urgente algun numero para comunicar gracias
Excellent Video! What did you use for a release agent?
Kerry Ogle Hi and thanks! 😃 I used a professional form release named Sika something , but you kan use regular cooking oil to.
Thanks!
Hi, do you sell custom molds?? Thanks for answering
send me lion mold
Kan man beställa en gjutform av dig?
Quick question, what state was the mold in afterwards, and was it reusable ? Great video btw
Sorry for the late reply. It looks good and can be used several times. Thanks 😊👍
@@CNCSwede cheers mate, i recently achieved this using my 3018 cnc and modeling foam
Hi what substance did you use for your mold release please? Many thanks
Danny Tillotson Hi! I used a professional mold release named SIKA SEPAROL W-220.
Alltid kul att se dina videos morbror :) kanske du ska få göra en snygg Njutbart-skylt som jag kan ha i bakgrunden på mina videos :) och GRATTIS till 500 subs :)
Njutbart Tack 😊 och kanske det 🤔
How would it cost to have one of that mold to Trinidad in the Caribbean
I have no idea, and I don't sell them either. Cheers Eric
what molds you interested in, I can make you any molds on CNC
how many times can you use the mold?
david rowan I don’t know, but after two times I do not see that the Mold has any worn so I guess it wold last long.
@@CNCSwede do you know a company that could make a customer one for me and post to the UK?
RTV Silicone layer molding for fine details?
SMI ZAKI Im sorry but I don't understand your question 🤔
Snyggt. kikade idag på köpa en RAW fräs
First i wanna say Hello, and thank you for sharing process video. Are you living in USA, I am living in Houston Texas USA, may I buy that mold from you (if possible) once again thanks
Hi Tony and thanks! Unfortunately I’m living in Sweden and i think that the postal coast to send that to USA is more than the molds value 😉

What CNC do you use, should I buy?
steam steam I use a Raw 1.5 from rawcnc.com/ of course you should 😄
What mix did you use?
LEO I don’t remember. But some kind of pre mixed concrete sand I guess.
How many times can u pour with that kind of mold? amp.se
I don’t really know. I have tried it twice and it has not shown any wear. But I guess you can paint it with a thin layer of varnish or something and they will last even longer.
Snyggt! Vad använde du för foam? :)
Jag använde styrofoam
Är inte det vanlig frigolit? Gjort av små kulor? Känns inte som det skulle vara optimalt för fina detaljer :)
Robert Holmberg nja det är inte sån frigolit. Utan sån som man använder när man isolerar betongplattor till hus. Mycket hårdare och tätare än frigolit.
Måste testa själv :D
